this. At first he was only a pipeman in the
volunteer corps, running with the Niagara
and then with the Red Jacket engines
When the department WAS organized as a
regular salaried arm OF the municipal INA
chine, i'll 1858, Mr.. Swenie became its first
chief After short but successful
career in this Office politics supplsnted
him, but he continued in service
as foreman of an engine company
and proved himself such a loyal, brave and
daring fireman that after repeated promo
tions he was, about five years ago again
made a chief, thus enjoying the novel expe-
rience of having been the first and latest fire
chief Of one Of the large cities Of the world.
When the great fire OF 1871 came Mr.. Swenie
was foreman Of an engine company, but by
his prompt action saved four squares on the
north side of the river, bounded by Michigan
and Market sti eets and the river
He is all ideal fire chief Every man in the
department is known To him personally, and
every bit OF the apparatus is familiar to him
He attends all fires, day or night, and though
pleasant and approachable man, popular
among the rank and file, his discipline is
almost military in character and influence
though it is largely due to his genius and
energy that the Chicago department, notori-
ously inefficient in 1871 and 1874, has been
brought to such high standard Of excel
lence that the fire chiefs from London, Liver
pool and Paris, besides scores from American
cities. have Travelled hither on purpose to
study il.
The Importance OF Chief Swenie's position
may be better judged by consideration Of
these facts: There is no fire commission in
Chicago. and the sole authority, under the
mayor, rests with the chief In the depart
ment are 800 men, manning s. steam engines,
~ hook and ladder trucks, d chemical engines,
a stand pipe 20 horses and l0 miles O! hose
The Chicago department answers an average
OF six alarms each day, and the cost of its
maintenance is nearly Sl,0OU. 600 II year
Chief Swenie's reappointment, after a recent
change i'll the politics OF the city sdministra-
ton, was very gratifying to the citizens and
to his friends and admirers in the fire depart
ments of many American cities.
